Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonding between base pairs is responsible for maintaining the shape of the tRNA molecule. This type of bonding occurs between the nitrogenous bases of the RNA, allowing it to fold into its characteristic three-dimensional structure necessary for its function in protein synthesis.
